Awesome view, good sandwiches, but I wouldn't suggest the pizza. Very tasty coconut pie.
Reese Elkins
Awesome place. Love the 2 eggs, toast, rice with Portuguese sausage. People here are wonderful. The view from the patio is also amazing.

Pizza was a bit burnt, oily, and not particularly flavorful. It was okay but nothing great. The view over to the bay was spectacular and the breakfast menu seems good but is served only until noon

One of the nicest views of the ocean on the Big Island. The food is amazing and the portions are massive. If you aren't a big eater, make sure you share with someone. There is limited parking and usually a little bit of a queue, but I think it's worth it

The food is always great. the view is incredible. Eclectic breakfast food in a great little restaurant on the side of a mountain. Beautiful ocean views

Wonderful food and service, can’t beat the view or the geckos for company. The lillikoi cheesecake is the best I’ve had on any of the Hawaiian islands. Would come back in a heartbeat!

Fantastic food with a great view. You won't want to leave ever, it's a piece of heaven on earth! The cinnamon roll is a must!

This place is awesome! Very small diner type restaurant. We went on father's day so we waited about an hour to get seated. They were extremely busy but still had great service. Quality of food was worth the wait. Coffee and breakfast were delicious!

Was recommended by a local. The long wait was worth it- the Reuben sandwich was really good! They ran out pickles which would’ve completed my meal & also of the coconut cream pie I came to try. The macadamia nut pie was ok. Great views & friendly service.

Stopped to get coffee on the way to 2 step. The place was super busy. Ordered 3 specialty coffees to go. Waited and Waited and Waited. Finally was able to all about our coffees 20 minutes later. Apparently they threw our order away and still had to wait. I wanted to ask for my money back but was unable to. Finally got our coffee and was not good! Paid $18 for 3 coffees that took forever and gross! One mocha tasted like watered down milk without coffee. The scenery was amazing, and food did look good but service and coffee was not!

A must see destination on your trip to the west side of the big island. Right along the highway with a good bit of parking if you are early. When you walk in walk around the backside to the second seating area I think this provides this best views. Food was great service was fast and amazing views. About 1400’ up from the water.

Incredible views with just as memorable food. The ono benedict was so good we came back the next day to have it again. Great experience both times! Between the friendly staff, quick service and all around good vibe, we will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Big Island!

Amazing view, service, and food! Came here two days in a row for a reason. Parking is a little tough but well worth it.

What a crowded place!What a view! With great breakfast (Kona eggs with Canadian ham, Eggs Benedict) and friendly and helpful staff. Was definitely worth the wait (about 20 minutes).

Great coffee, food and service. View is stunning. It is a must visit for our family when we are staying in Kailua-Kona. Parking can be a challenge when busy. Be patient.
